I love vintage instruments, and had a similar early 1900s Buffet stencil Eb clarinet (with a cool wrap-around register key) that I played for several years in a wind ensemble and loved it. I had no issues with the horn or pitch (it was, of course, LP).
That said, what stood out to me in your post is that it has no barrel (I've seen this before on older instruments). I love the idea and coolness of it (much as I loved the wrap-around register key on mine), but on Eb with all of its pitchiness, not being able to change/adjust the barrel when needed could be a big disadvantage.
Just my two cents....
